"Before reading the review, if you do read it, please understand I have nothing to compare this 'experience ' to. For my wife and I this was our first fine dining experience. Don 't get me wrong, we 've been to some lovely places but have always paid about a quarter of the prices on this particular menu. Also, having never frequented anywhere as grand as a restaurant on the top of the Hilton Hotel, I was a little nervous as to how a regular everyday working man from Yorkshire would feel and would be treated. Any thoughts or fears were quashed immediately as we stepped out of the lift. We were greeted warmly, and being a little early, asked if we would like to have a drink first in the 10⁰ Bar adjacent. We took up the offer and that was also amazing, see separate review. From that very first step onto the top floor, to the step back into the lift, the staff were impeccable As we were shown to our table with a window view all staff acknowledged our passing with a smile and a hello. We truly felt like royalty. We ordered our drinks to start and then our main courses. We were considering the taster menu but wasn 't sure if we 'd manage 5 courses, the minimum. A good decision too as we were given some appetisers followed by a small bread selection before our mains arrived. We were asked many times if we needed anything else, drinks etc, but by no means was there any pressure to order. For my main I had Hogget, farced saddle, boulangere, wild garlic sheep’s curd with a side Pomme purée. It came presented, as you 'd expect, like a work of art. The taste was extraordinary. As said previous, I have never dined anywhere near as luxurious before, so I have nothing to compare it to, so I can 't. If asked if it was worth 4 or 5 times what I would normally pay for a main course, absolutely yes. An absolute delicious attack on your taste buds. My wife had Cornish cod A’la grenobloise, kohlrabi, sourdough. I can 't say how nice she found it, I know she did, she really enjoyed it and, again, came presented extremely well. For dessert I had Poire William, Jivara chocolate, eau de vie, mascarpone. This was presented, again, amazingly well and was a ball of ice cream, encased in another ball of ice cream surrounded by a shell of 'something ' topped with a wafer, cream and gold leaf. My wife had Duck egg custard tart, Yorkshire rhubarb, lemon balm. Yes, it was an egg Custard really fancilly presented but tasted like no other egg Custard before. All in all an absolutely fantastic 2hrs. There 's a 15% service charge added but I added more myself. Without hesitation and without doubt would I would recommend Galvinatwindows.com? Absolutely"
